Hi Martin, I see that you set up a twitter account some time ago for NGT but haven't noticed any recent tweets from you? I've only recently started to see the value of this service and would 'follow' different greyhound tracks to be tweeted with info on upcoming competitions, (since the IGB site is not always up to date). Do your patrons make a lot of use of your twitter account? Do other tracks around Ireland have their own twitter accounts?

Lynda Sorry I know nothing about a Twitter account maybe it was set up before the track closed down last year.Twitter and Facebook are not my scene as my four daughters won't set me up just in case I can look in on them !!!!.

Ive just checked and March 2011 was the last registered tweet. This would be a perfect opportunity for you to investigate the possibilities twitter creates from the experts of our generation: your daughters! The address is @newbridgetrack ; it's worth a look as it had 142 followers at a time. I was advised to use twitter as a promotional medium and I can see it's potential benefits!

Newbridge Track Supporters Club A3 or lower stake starts next Friday night the 13th.Now has 24 runners and the winners prize has gone up to 1000. Best of luck to all.
A1/A2 550yds stake entries close early next week. At the moment two runs for 750.
What a start to the A3 525 Track Supporters Sweepstake with winning times of 28.91,28.43,29.10 and 28.80. The trap draw for the semi finals was made after racing by committee member Tony King and it resulted as follows.
Semi Final One. 1. Tayl Bound 2.Bandicoot Henry 3.Hows Your Nanny 4.Pennys Phantom 5.Tadhgs Fantasy 6.One Formojo.
Semi Final Two. 1.Mottos Black 2.Maroon Cha Cha 3.Crockanure Eoin 4.Oran Goddess 5.Pennys Aesop 6.Quel Espirit.
Good luck to all Martin
PS. Sound system got its first airing last night and the barking in the kennel area was a lot quiter.
No matter rated or not this should not take away from the excellent run from Oran Goddess (28.43). This was only her third race and she could be anything only time will tell.I thought it was a bit fast possiable 15/20
Friday night 20th July we have the semi finals of the A3/A4 525 as well as the start of the A1/A2 550.The 550 is shaping up nicely and their will be an increased prize money fund as a result.
